Giving You The Best That I Got Lyrics By Anita Baker

    ain’t there something i can give you
    in exchange for everything you give to me
    read my mind
    and make me feel just fine
    when i think my peace of mind is out of reach

    the scales are sometimes unbalanced
    and you bear the weight of all that has to be
    i hope you see that you can lean on me
    and together
    we can calm a stormy sea

    hook
    we love so strong and so unselfishly
    and i tell you now that i made a vow
    i’m giving you the best that i got baby
    yes i tell you now
    that i made a vow
    i’m giving you the best that i got honey

    everybody’s got opinions
    ’bout the way they think our story’s gonna end
    some folks feel it’s just a superficial thrill
    everybody’s gonna have to think again

    hook
    we love so strong and so unselfishly
    they don’t bother me so i’m gonna keep on
    giving you the best that i got baby
    they don’t bother me
    said i’m gonna keep on
    giving you the best that i got

    listen baby
    somebody understands me
    somebody gave his heart to me
    i stumbled my whole life long
    always on my own
    now i’m home

    my weary mind is rested
    and i feel as if my home is in your arms
    fears are all gone
    i like the sound of your song
    and i think i want to sing it forever

    hook
    we love so strong and so unselfishly
    and i made a vow so i tell you now
    i’m giving you the best that i got

    listen baby
    i bet everything on my wedding ring
    i’m giving you the best that i got
    giving it to you baby

    giving you the best that i got
